Park Reservations:

Walt Disney World® requires “Park Reservations” made in advance to attend the theme parks.  We strongly recommend that all friends and family (spectators) register on a separate invoice from the team.

• Anyone included on your invoice will be part of your “ticket order”.  Ticket orders will be placed when your invoice is paid in full.
• Once the order is placed, you will receive a ticket confirmation number for each person. Tickets will start going out mid-December 2024.  All payments made if full after this date will require 3 business days to receive.
• Information on how to obtain your park reservations will be sent with your ticket confirmation email.

No Changes after ticket orders have been placed and ticket order numbers have been distributed.  Any upgrades must be requested before paying your invoice in full. Each person is assigned a ticket number, please make sure they are distributed accordingly.

Please note that parks may reach capacity so be sure to get your payment in early!

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN PURCHASING THEME PARK TICKETS: The reselling or the transferring of theme park tickets in the state of Florida is a crime as described under Florida state laws; Florida Statutes s. 817.361 and Florida Statutes s. 817.36

Walt Disney World Theme Park Reservations:

To help manage park capacity, the Walt Disney World Resort has introduced the Disney Park Pass service, a new Theme Park reservation system. In order to make your Theme Park reservations, you will need a My Disney Experiences account and valid Theme Park admission linked to it.  Once you are paid in full, approximately 7-10 business days later, Varsity Spirit will send you a ticket confirmation order number. Then, simply create a My Disney Experience account and select the dates and Theme Parks you wish to visit. To enter a Theme Park, both a reservation and valid admission for the same Park on the same date are required. Please note that reservations are limited in capacity, subject to availability and are not guaranteed until confirmed. Park availability is very limited and Varsity Spirit will not be able to assist with park reservations.

Starting in 2024: visitors to Walt Disney World will be able to “hop” from park to park with no time restrictions. On Jan. 9, 2024, all-day park hopping access will return allowing any guest with a valid park hopper ticket to freely visit any of its four theme parks at any time during normal operation hours.  Guests must still have a theme park reservation for the first park they want to visit. Once you visit that park, you can hop, anytime during the day to another park without a park reservation.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN PURCHASING THEME PARK TICKETS: The reselling or the transferring of theme park tickets in the state of Florida is a crime as described under Florida state laws; Florida Statutes s. 817.361 and Florida Statutes s. 817.36
